Roger Ebert's Best of the Decade

As I've mentioned, I don't always agree with Mr. Ebert, but his wealth of knowledge and movie buffery is astounding to me. Also the fact that a person could become famous for said knowledge is pretty amazing, so I respect him. Here's his best of the aughts:

Synecdoche, New York

The Hurt Locker

Monster

Juno

Me & You & Everyone We Know

Chop Shop

The Son

The 25th Hour

Almost Famous

My Winnipeg

runners-up:

Adaptation

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

City of God

Crash

Kill Bill: Volume 1 & 2

Minority Report

No Country for Old Men

Pan's Labyrinth

Silent Light

Waking Life

Surprised Crash didn't make the top ten, since he was so famously behind the movie and interval to it's eventual (and wrong-headed) best picture win-- perhaps he viewed the film again, feeling the necessity to denote it to runner-up status.

I'm working on my best of the decade serious...so stay tuned...hopefully I will have it completed before the next decade....
